Their 4-0 thumping at the hands of Nottingham Forest earlier in the season will be on QPR’s minds this afternoon, according to midfielder Luke Freeman.

The Reds cruised to victory at the City Ground back in November, when Mark Warburton was still in charge, with Tyler Walker grabbing a brace and Kieran Dowell and Barrie McKay completing the rout.

Freeman argues the final scoreline was not a fair reflection of the game, and ahead of this afternoon’s reverse fixture at Loftus Road, he says Ian Holloway’s side will be determined to put things right.

“We’ll do our homework and we’ll go into the game with confidence at home,” he told Get West London.

“I don’t think it was a typical 4-0 result. I remember it was a tough game but they kind of scored goals at crucial times which cancelled us out.

“It was one of them when it was a bad day at the office and nothing was really falling for us.

“We had chances ourselves to go ahead but it didn’t go our way, and before you know it, it was one goal, then two goals. Then after half-time when we were trying to get back into it, they scored the third and fourth.

“It didn’t feel like a 4-0 smashing but it’s certainly something we’ll be thinking of and we’ll try to correct at our place.”
